Trapped In Hisstory

It was time for the royal family to have breakfast together, and since the Second Prince and the King of Canopus are staying over for a while, they have to join as well.

Niro just finished talking to his brother, Weston, who is the King's aide. Weston reminded him to stop his master from making any scenes at the table later that will annoy the King of Antares.

Niro already knows that they cannot do anything that will displease the King since this was not their kingdom. It was not like he was going to create any troubles just like when he was young, and he knew that Prince Caliber would not do anything since King Cadell is the Crown Prince's father.

Niro slowly shook his head, 'Hm, no. Even if King Cadell is the Crown Prince's father, that does not guarantee that he will not say anything bad to the King.' he thought.

"Let us just hope that nothing will happen when they meet again…" he muttered as he continued walking to the direction of the chamber where the two princes were staying.

He needs to tell them to prepare for eating with the King of Antares. It would look bad for them to be late.

'Come to think of it...I am also late.' he thought, Sherin was probably already there, but he was still on his way. 'I will get scolded for being late again…' he thought and let out a sigh as he switched to a faster pace.

After a while of walking, he stopped in his tracks when he saw his partner together with the Crown Prince's knight, standing side to side by the door.

He clicked his tongue, "Why is he with her?" he muttered, slightly annoyed by the sight of him. 

Realization hit him, remembering that the Crown Prince was also inside the room so that was the reason he was guarding together with Sherin. 

"Seriously, what is wrong with me?" he thought, embarrassed of himself for being annoyed without thinking of the reason behind why they are together.

He noticed the change of expression on Sherin's face as the two of them talked. Sherin went into a daze, as if seriously thinking about something and it made Niro curious of what ec said to her.

Niro's hand clenched into a fist and he remembered the times where Sherin was in a bad mood whenever she saw Alec. 'All he does is to cause displeasure.' he thought.

He walked towards them and Alec bowed hisbhead slightly as a greeting while Niro did the same. 

Sherin was in a daze that even someone like her who has great senses, did not even notice that her partner was already there. Niro secretly glanced at Alec, almost glaring at him, 'Just what did he say for her to be deep in her thoughts?' he thought.

He returned his gaze to Sherin and looked at her in worry, "Sherin?" he called out but the female aide still did not notice him.

Niro put his hand on her shoulders, so she could snap out of her thoughts, "Sherin." he called out again.

He cannot shout since their masters will hear them from inside the room. He went closer to Sherin's ear, hoping that she would hear him, "Sherin, it is me." 

He succeeded in pulling her out of daze and she flinched. Their eyes met and Sherin was startled by how close their faces were to each other. For the first time, Sherin was flustered.

Sherin hid her reaction immediately and wore a blank face, "What are you doing?"

Niro was too focused on her eyes that he just realized how close they were. He took a step back, "I-I was calling you but you could not hear me." he said and he looked away so Sherin could not see his red face.

Even though Niro was not facing her, Sherin saw his ears reddening and she almost laughed. She smiled slightly, if Niro was facing her, he could have seen the slight red found on her cheeks.

Both of them droze as they remembered that Alec was right beside them. Although they know Alec would not care about it, he still heard and saw what happened. Sherin and Niro felt awkward, forgetting that the Crown Prince's knight was there.

Niro coughed, "I need to call out the two princes." he said and the two of them nodded as a response.

Niro knocked at the door of the Crown Prince's room so they would be aware that they were outside. "Your Highnesses?" 

But even though his knock was loud, there was no response at all. "Are they still asleep?" Niro asked the two knights who were guarding them before he had arrived.

The two of them shook their heads.

"His Highness is already awake by this time." 

"His Highness is already awake by this time." 

Niro glanced at the two of them in silence and the two looked at each other who had the same answer. He sighed, "Alright. So they are already awake."

He knocked at the door again but there was still no response from the two. He suddenly got an ominous feeling and remembered the incident back in Canopus. 'What if..?" 

He immediately turned the knob and his abrupt behavior startled the other two. He opened the door, hoping that the two princes were still there and still safe. 

"YOUR HIGHNESSES!" he yelled as he swung the door open.

He froze on the spot with his hands still holding the knob of the open door.

Caliber's hands were holding Chance and they had just pulled away from kissing the moment the door opened.

They stared at Niro who was frozen in his position. Chance was just hit by realization and his face flushed with red and screamed. 

He flopped down to the bed and hid himself under the covers in embarrassment. 

Looks like the ominous feeling Niro felt was a warning to not go inside…

Niro shivered when he felt a dark aura emitting from his master's body. 

He immediately closed the door and the two knights who had not yet gone inside were confused as to why he closed the door without going inside.

"What happened?"

"Why did you close it?"

The weather is not even that hot but Niro felt sweaty all of the sudden. "E-erm...let us not go inside for a while..."

Alec and Sherin looked at him with furrowed brows. "Why not?"

"NIRO NAVARRUS!"

The three knights' eyes widened, surprised to hear the Second Prince's yell before Niro could even answer Sherin's question.

Niro went behind his partner's back, "Protect me, Sherin." he whispered.

But after a few moments, Caliber still has not come out to hunt his aide. Niro sighed in relief, he survived his master's wrath. 'Prince Charles probably saved me…' he thought.

They heard footsteps and their hands immediately made their way to the handle of their swords.

Their tensed bodies relaxed when they saw a familiar knight.

~~~~~

"Good morni--uhh afternoon? I am a knight from Antares, Tristan.'' He introduced himself but received an odd reaction from the servants.

The servants looked confused as they stared at him, "From Antares? What could you be doing here?" one of the servants asked.

"I serve a guest that is staying here in the palace. That is right, do you know where my master is staying right now?" he asked with a smile.

"Your master?"

"Yes, my master. The Crown Prince of Antares, Charles," he responded, and the servants looked at each other with widened eyes.

A perplexed look replaced Tristan's smiling face, "Why do you seem surprised? Is there something wrong?"

"Oh dear Goddess, why are you still here, Sir Tristan?" one of the servants asked with a hand on her mouth.

Tristan looked at him dumbfounded. He blinked and stared at her, "What do you mean?"

Another servant approached him and gave him a pat on the back, "How come you are not aware? Your master along with his close knight has already left early this morning." the man said, and it left the knight in incredulity.

"They...left?" he asked again, as he could not believe it.

The servants looked at each other and shook their heads, pitying the knight. Each of them gave him a tap and carried on with their path, walking away and leaving him in the middle of the field alone.

"They...they...they left me?"

Alec approached his master and caressed his back, "If you do not remember it, then just let it go, Your Highness. Your head will just hurt." Alec Valorian said.

Chance nodded in agreement, "You may be right, never mind." he said. "Just as they say, if I forgot, then it must not be important."

~~~~~

The forgotten person ---> Tristan

Niro gasped internally, he forgot that he had locked him up ever since the knight where he almost saw the Crown Prince and the Second Prince together.

It was a good thing that he was able to get out, or else he would have been totally forgotten…

Tristan smiled at them, "Looks like all of you are having fun without me."
